This research is motivated by problems in the implementation of the strategy of the Ciamis Regency Small and Medium Business Cooperative Office in the development of Micro and Medium Small Enterprises in Kujang Village, Cikoneng District, Ciamis Regency. The method used in this study is descriptive with a causative approach. Primary data is sourced from the results of interviews with 6 selected informants who are relevant to the problem. Secondary data is sourced from documents, books, journals, reports, and legislation. Data collection was carried out based on interviews, observations, and documentation with data analysis techniques through data reduction, data triangulation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the MSME development strategy through digital platforms has not been running optimally. Obstacles occur in the lack of communication, active participation of MSME actors in policy formulation, mentoring activities, facilitation, evaluation, and programs that are still top-down.  Efforts to overcome obstacles are to increase the initiative of MSME actors in learning independently through digital media such as YouTube, and TikTok through e-commerce. The Kujang village government supports the implementation of training and facilitation if it is involved by the relevant agencies. The Cooperative Office, Small and Medium Enterprises and Trade is improving its strategy through further collaboration with village governments that have not received attention, especially Kujang village MSMEs in participating, mentoring, coaching, and facilitating.

The community service program titled Great Youth, Strong Mentality at Untung Suropati Catholic High School aimed to enhance students understanding and skills in managing stress and anxiety, which are increasingly prevalent among adolescents due to academic pressures, social dynamics, environmental changes, and excessive exposure to social media. These issues are exacerbated by a lack of knowledge about effective stress management strategies, such as relaxation techniques and emotional communication, as well as the stigma surrounding mental health that discourages adolescents from seeking help. The counseling was conducted using an interactive approach, comprising a 30-minute informative lecture to explain the concepts of stress and anxiety, small group discussions (5–7 students) to encourage reflection and sharing of experiences, and practical exercises on relaxation techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness, to provide hands-on experience. Supporting materials, including visual presentations and interactive quizzes, were utilized to enhance student engagement. Post-event evaluation revealed significant improvements in the understanding of stress and anxiety among students in grades X, XI, and XII. Students demonstrated enthusiasm through active participation in discussions and practical sessions, as well as positive feedback on the supportive and stigma-free environment. The program successfully equipped students with practical skills for stress management and fostered a healthier learning environment. For sustainability, it is recommended to conduct similar programs regularly, integrate mental health education into the school curriculum or extracurricular activities, provide concise modules for students’ independent use, and collaborate with school counselors to monitor technique implementation and offer ongoing support to ensure long-term impact on students mental well-being.

This study aims to identify Kaizen strategies that can be applied to improve student discipline and productivity within Universitas Buana Perjuangan Karawang. Kaizen, a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement, is considered relevant to encourage positive behavioral change in academic activities and time management among students. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving active students and academic advisors. The results show that applying Kaizen principles such as daily self-evaluation, active involvement in study planning, and the reinforcement of a collective discipline culture significantly contributes to improving academic productivity. This study recommends integrating Kaizen strategies into student development programs to create a more effective and sustainable learning environment.

Illegal logging is one of the leading causes of environmental degradation, triggering natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and droughts. Children of Generation Alpha, who are still in the cognitive development stage, are considered vulnerable due to their limited understanding and preparedness for such disasters. This community service program aimed to enhance elementary school students’ awareness and knowledge of disaster mitigation through educational media in the form of printed comics. The activity was conducted by the KKN Team of Universitas Ivet Semarang at SDN Plalangan 02, involving 24 students from grades 3 and 4. The procedure consisted of preliminary observation to assess school needs, comic development on the theme of illegal logging-related disaster mitigation, delivery of the material through comic reading sessions, interactive discussions, and evaluation through pretest and posttest. The pretest results showed that most students were in the "moderate" knowledge category (45.8%). After the intervention, 75% of students reached the "good" category. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference in students’ knowledge before and after the intervention. Printed comics proved effective in conveying complex disaster mitigation content in a visually engaging and narrative-driven format. The approach aligns with the characteristics of Generation Alpha, who are highly responsive to visual media. It is recommended that printed comics be further developed and integrated into disaster education programs in elementary schools, especially those located in disaster prone areas.

The abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Addictive Substances (NAPZA) poses a serious threat to adolescents, including junior high school students. This community service activity aimed to increase students' knowledge and awareness of the dangers of NAPZA through a counseling program conducted at SMPN 1 Sanaman Mantikei. The method involved interactive material presentations, group discussions, and pretest-posttest evaluations. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge, from 69% to 92% in “good” category after the counseling. This indicates that health education is an effective preventive strategy against substance abuse among adolescents. The activity received positive responses from both students and school staff. Sustainable education programs and integration of NAPZA-related topics into the school curriculum are necessary to build adolescents’ resilience against negative environmental influences. Consistent and collaborative efforts are key to protecting the younger generation from the dangers of drug abuse.

Mastery of the concept of multiplication is a fundamental ability that needs to be mastered by primary school students as a foundation for learning further mathematical material. Unfortunately, many learners have difficulty in understanding multiplication thoroughly, both due to the abstract nature of the material and the lack of varied teaching methods. One of the main challenges is the decreased motivation to learn when facing multiplication topics that are considered complicated and boring. This programme introduces the lattice method as an alternative to learning multiplication at the primary level. This visual technique breaks down the multiplication process into structured steps that are easier to understand. The activity involved grade IV students and mathematics teachers at SDN 31 Jati Tanah Tinggi Padang as an effort to innovate numeracy learning. Implementation included socialisation, training, practice, and collaborative evaluation between teachers and students. Assessment instruments included learning interest questionnaire, comprehension test, observation sheet, and group discussion. As a result, the lattice method was proven to improve not only comprehension but also students' participation, confidence, and enthusiasm. Thus, this approach can be a solution to create more interesting and effective learning.

Slum areas in Pekanbaru City are being addressed by the local government, including the Meranti Pandak Sub-district. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Meranti Pandak Sub-district government in maintaining environmental cleanliness in slum areas and to identify the inhibiting factors affecting its effectiveness (Case Study: Slum Area in Meranti Pandak Sub-district, Pekanbaru City). Environmental issues in this area are of major concern due to their impact on public health and quality of life. The study applies Duncan’s theory (as cited in Nurmalasari & Supriyadi, 2021), which highlights three indicators: goal achievement, integration, and adaptation. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the sub-district government's efforts have not been fully effective. This is evident from poorly targeted programs, unequal service distribution among residents, low community participation, and weak monitoring and evaluation by the local authorities. Additional obstacles include unresolved waste management issues, limited budget, and non-permanent building structures. To improve effectiveness, the study recommends more focused program planning, sustainable community empowerment, and enhanced cross-sectoral coordination.

This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and supervision of character education management in developing the emotional intelligence of students at Pondok Pesantren Madrasatul Qur’an Sabak Permai, Siak Sri Indrapura, Riau. The background of this research is the phenomenon of character degradation among students as a result of rapid technological advancement and social change. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The results show that the planning of character education is formulated based on the pesantren’s vision, mission, and goals, which emphasize the formation of students’ character. Implementation is carried out through structured and consistent daily activities to foster emotional intelligence, such as discipline, role modeling, habituation, and spiritual development. Supervision is conducted continuously through program evaluation by the pesantren administrators. The findings indicate that character education management plays a strategic role in shaping students who not only have strong character but also stable and adaptive emotional intelligence. The implication of this study highlights the need to strengthen character education management within the pesantren education system to face the challenges of modern development.

Inclusive empowerment is a village development approach that emphasizes the active involvement of vulnerable groups—such as women, the elderly, people with disabilities , and the poor—in all stages of planning through to evaluation. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Village-Owned Enterprises ( BUMDes ) program in Daha Utara District, South Kalimantan, in ensuring participation and accessibility for these groups. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with BUMDes managers and representatives of vulnerable groups. The evaluation was conducted based on William N. Dunn's six policy indicators: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, fairness, responsiveness , and accuracy. The results show that the BUMDes program has had a limited positive impact on increasing the income of vulnerable groups, but their involvement is still limited, both in terms of participation and physical access. The main challenges include the lack of disability- friendly infrastructure , minimal capacity training, and community resistance due to low program transparency. On the other hand, local cultural support such as mutual cooperation, involvement of traditional leaders, and partnerships with the village government are important supporting factors. This study recommends increasing human resource capacity, strengthening inclusive infrastructure, socialization based on local wisdom, and adaptive digitalization to expand access. With strategic intervention, BUMDes is expected to be able to transform into a driving force for fair, participatory and sustainable village development.

This study examines criminal responsibility in the context of utility through LPKA policy, motivated by the increasing involvement of children in deviant behavior that requires a humanistic approach to rehabilitation. Using a legal-normative method with a legal and theoretical approach, the study analyzes the implementation of Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianism in the child rehabilitation system. The results indicate that LPKA has adopted the principle of utilitarianism through a paradigm shift from retributive to restorative, reflected in comprehensive rehabilitation programs encompassing education, skills training, and psychosocial support. However, optimal implementation is hindered by resource constraints and an inadequate evaluation system. The study recommends the development of a sustainable evaluation mechanism that includes long-term indicators to measure effectiveness in accordance with utilitarianism principles.

Pulmonary function disorders are commonly underdiagnosed health issues, especially in urban areas with high air pollution and prevalent smoking habits. Early detection through spirometry plays a crucial role in the promotion and prevention of respiratory diseases such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, public awareness and access to spirometry remain limited, including in the Tanjung Duren Selatan subdistrict of West Jakarta. This community service program was conducted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle management approach. The target population consisted of productive-age residents willing to participate in health education and lung function screening. Spirometry examinations were conducted alongside interactive counseling about respiratory health and risk factors. Evaluation was carried out through spirometry results and participant satisfaction surveys. A total of 92 participants took part in the activity, consisting of 70 females (76.1%) and 22 males (23.9%), with a mean age of 43.78 years (SD ±12.93). The average Vital Capacity (VC) was 2.26 L, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) was 2.13 L, and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) was 1.95 L. The mean FEV1/FVC ratio was 107.12%, with 100% of participants showing normal lung function. This activity demonstrates that spirometry is an effective tool for monitoring lung function and increasing community awareness. Similar screening initiatives should be expanded to support early detection of respiratory disorders at the community level.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional issue that significantly affects children's long-term growth and development. One of its primary causes is the lack of knowledge among mothers and families about balanced nutrition and the skills to manage household income effectively. This community engagement program aimed to enhance the knowledge of mothers and families through leaflet-based education on child nutrition and household income management for stunting prevention.The activity was conducted in the working area of Puruk Cahu Public Health Center, Central Kalimantan, involving 30 housewives with children under five years old. The education was delivered through lectures using both leaflet and PowerPoint media, and the implementation consisted of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed that empowering mothers and families through leaflet media is an effective educational strategy. After the intervention, participants showed a significant improvement in understanding the importance of early nutritional intake, the concept of balanced nutrition, and simple strategies for managing household finances to meet their children's nutritional needs. In addition, participants became more aware of the family's active role in ensuring quality food consumption for children and the long-term impacts of malnutrition.It is expected that this increased knowledge will enable mothers and families to become agents of change in preventing stunting and fostering an environment that supports optimal child growth and development.

Instilling religious values from an early age is a crucial component in shaping students' character, particularly through religious education at the elementary school level. SD Inpres Oesapa routinely implements a joint worship program as a form of integrating spiritual values into formal education.
